Old Qin Tuo looked at the almanac, and the marriage was scheduled for one month. The family began to get busy, decorating the house, preparing for the bride price, and in accordance with local rules, there are six rituals for getting married, such as accepting, asking for a name, naji, accepting, asking for a day, and welcoming each other in six steps.

However, Ji Junbi has no relatives at home. Yang Yichao, who originally watched her grow up, was far away, and only the second elder of the Demon Cult could be the family member of the woman's family. The two did not care about these things and omitted some of the steps. For this reason, the three gifts and three golds also spent a lot of money.

When Wuzhixian learned that I was going to get married, he sent his master to seal five hundred taels of silver and sent it, and he also pulled a car of things commonly used in weddings, which made Lao Qin a little flattered. It would be better to accept it. When you post an invitation, you can also give him a copy.

I wrote a few letters to Wu De and others and called him back to help. At the same time, I asked the escort for marriage leave. I am now an outsider of the escort. Although I have a professional title and no actual job, I am also happy. Anyway I can't see the meager salary anymore.

In the letter to Liu Qingfeng, I extended a kind invitation to him, saying that people don’t need to come, and send the money, but people don’t come, and money doesn’t come. This is not appropriate.

Ten days later, when I received a reply, Liu Qingfeng said that he has been busy recently, and the master did not approve the leave, and may not be able to attend the wedding in person. When I return to the capital, I will celebrate alone.

As for the elementary money, Liu Qingfeng wrote me a blank note, saying that this voucher would be worth one thousand taels of silver. When he married Xiao Yu'er and Mingyue, he asked me to add two hundred taels, which would be regarded as one thousand. Two hundred taels.

Looking at the reply, I couldn't laugh or cry. Ji Junbi picked up the letter and said that you are not careful about making friends with Sanguan. I sighed, except that I have a better vision of choosing a wife, but I'm not good at everything else.

At this time, someone asked at the door, is Sanguan at home? When I went out, I saw the dog left with Zhang Baichun coming in. I said, brother Gou left, please come in.

After drinking a few cups of tea, I saw that the dog was left to speak, and asked, we are all brothers, just say something if something happens.

The leftover dog said it was not for the baby of Baichun. Ever since a sword smashed the gate of the Song family, the baby of Baichun was like a devil. He was struggling to learn martial arts every day. Apprentice, pass a one-and-a-half move.

I asked Zhang Baichun, why did you learn martial arts

Zhang Baichun clenched his fist and said, I want to be a hero.

Why be a hero

Be a hero, no one can fight!

I said that learning martial arts is not for the purpose of being inspiring, fighting, but for being a pure heart, being a chivalrous man, fighting injustice, punishing good and promoting evil, do you understand

Zhang Baichun shook his head, not understanding. What do you mean

I said that when I saw someone upset, I beat my girl until I was satisfied.

The dog left asked, what do you think of my son.

I said that the qualifications are average, but diligent study and practice may not achieve nothing. Don't kowtow in a hurry. During this period of time, I will give you some advice and see if you are this material. At four o'clock in the morning every day, you come to my door and wait.

Early the next morning, Zhang Baichun arrived on time. I gave him a pole and two buckets, pointed to a broken urn road with holes in the bottom of the cave, and went outside to fetch water, and filled the broken urns before dark.

The broken urn cave was about the size of a tea bowl, and the pond was half a mile away from his home. Zhang Baichun hurried to pick up water. The water in the urn had almost leaked. At noon, he was a little tired and the water in the urn bottomed out.

Zhang Baichun panted and said, Uncle Sanguan, you are bullying.

When I say I want to enter the industry, I will first tell you the rules of the rivers and lakes. Regardless of the sect in the rivers and lakes, the first rule is to listen to the master's words, do what the master arranges, and never deceive the master and destroy the ancestor. If you don't want to do it, please do it.

I said in my heart that when I was studying arts, I got up early in the morning every day. I started by carrying water, sweeping the floor, serving tea, and pouring water. Let yourself have a better foundation.

At that time, I didn’t know much about these things. Why did I do some crude chores in the first year of joining the division? I didn’t even have the opportunity to touch the sword, let alone learn advanced swordsmanship. The teacher rushed to climb Mount Tai.

Later, I gradually realized the truth. In the first year, one is to fight the body, and the other is to investigate the character of the mind. Learning martial arts is a lonely and boring thing, and its boring degree is no better than sweeping the floor and carrying water every day. Even if some people have high aptitude and talent, if they can't bear their temperament, they will be brushed off for more than half of the first year.

Thinking about it carefully, in the first few months of entering the escort, apart from the Persian Mingjiao, which one did not start from pouring tea to the leaders and sticking invoices step by step. After a famous person, he relied on himself and thought that he was an escort, not a messenger. As a result, He was sent out by the leader to bet a dart, went out once, and never came back.

At the end of the day, Zhang Baichun was so troubled that I saw it almost, so I told you to go back and come over tomorrow morning. Three days later, Zhang Baichun stopped coming. The dog left came to the door and asked me, why didn’t I teach martial arts and only let me carry water

I smiled and said, these are only a few days, when I was in Taishan School, I did this kind of work for a year. If you really want to learn martial arts, don't you have to suffer so many sins? The dog left distressed his son, so he gave up about learning martial arts.

After the demon sect evacuated from the Central Plains, Murong Villa did not make any major moves, and the rivers and lakes calmed down, and Murong Villa did not deliberately take over the legacy of the demon sect. The reports on Xiaosheng's rivers and lakes are just some strange and interesting stories on the rivers and lakes. As for the Putuo Mountain war, nothing is mentioned.

After the imperial court broke the Northern Zhou Dynasty and signed the alliance under the city, he returned triumphantly from the shame of twenty years ago. It is said that a grand welcome ceremony was held in the capital.

During the six months he was absent, Zhu Runze supervised the country and Taiping took the seal, but as soon as Emperor Ming returned to Beijing, he demoted all the people promoted by Zhu Runze in the past six months, and most of the decree signed were dismissed. This is a bit puzzling.

Since ancient times, the emperor has always been embarrassed. Once a person stands on the peak of power, he refuses and does not want to surrender power. On the one hand, they are obsessed with this kind of power and cannot extricate themselves. On the other hand, they have lost the protection of power and their own safety is also threatened. Therefore, the emperor guards children like thieves.

Thinking about it this way, these practices of Emperor Ming can be understood.

The wedding date was approaching, and after the family and relatives were busy, Junbi and I couldn't help much. The two slipped out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and they were also happy.

Dongping County has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and outstanding people, but it is also an excellent place. The weather was fine on this day, and the two came to Yunqing Lake. It was summer, and the lotus on the lake was in full bloom.

Rent a small boat and go boating on the lake. The breeze comes slowly, and the lake is covered with green clothes. As the saying goes: the bridge is paddling the water and the lotus is cut, and the westerly wind on both sides of the strait is hazy and sunset. It seemed that after the first banquet in Yaochi, Wan Fei was drunk and drunk.

When I met Ji Junbi for the first time, she was seasick and afraid of the water.

There is a pavilion in the heart of Yunqing Lake called the Wishing Pavilion. The boat owner told us that this Wishing Pavilion is very effective. Every year, men and women go to the Wishing Pavilion to make a wish. There are also rumors that couples who come to Yunqing Lake do not wish to make a wish. , In all likelihood, they will disperse.

I was joking, and smiled, really

The boatman smiled awkwardly and told the truth. In fact, this wishing pavilion is a pavilion built on Yunqing Lake with funds raised by our sailing boats. The business here was not good before. Later, some experts came up with this idea and made up some stories of male and female grievances. , Sure enough, more guests came here, and the business was much more prosperous than before.

I said to my heart that these people have touched people's hearts. If it's just because of the beautiful scenery, there are more beautiful people in the world, and where are they going, but with the addition of this wishing pavilion, it will immediately become different. Men and women seeking marriage, seeking a promotion as an official, and seeking to make a fortune in business, this can be regarded as touching people's hearts and making people willing to pay for it.

After paying the boat fare, I came to the wishing pavilion in the heart of the lake. The pavilion on the east side was written in four large characters, responsive to requests. I don't know who has altered it, and it has become harder if you have the ball.

I have always been trustworthy or unbelieving about the theory of gods and ghosts. Ji Junbi asked me if I have any wishes? I secretly said in her ear, when will she give birth to a fat baby and make her face flushed with shame.

Since becoming the overlord, Ji Junbi's complexion has obviously improved, and his expression has not been as cold as before. This can be seen from the contacts with his family and relatives.

After waiting in line for a long time, I finally arrived in the wishing pavilion. When he looked up, he was surprised to see the statues of the gods in the wishing pavilion.

Above the lobby, a statue of a two-foot-tall god covered in black armor stood there, holding a scepter, and a mark carved in the middle of his forehead, which is exactly the six-pointed star.

Although he knew it was just a mud statue, he was taken aback. Seeing my solemn expression, Ji Junbi even asked what was going on. I shook my head and said it was a bit weird here, so let's go out and talk about it.

When I came out of the wishing booth, I asked an old man who was setting up a stall next to him, how long has this wishing booth been repaired? The old man said that it has been more than two years. At that time, some craftsmen from other places came and built this pavilion within a few days.

I asked Ji Junbi, do you think this idol is a bit weird

Ji Junbi said, I was just about to say that our Manichaeism believes in the two gods of light and darkness, and the statue of God just now is the god of darkness in our sacred secrets. Just...

Just what

Ji Junbi went on to say that the sacred religion has respected the god of light for hundreds of years, but the god of darkness has always hibernated in the dark. According to the secret book, this six-pointed star is the seal of the god of darkness.

I thought this matter was a little strange, and I had to wait for Sansu to come back and ask him again. If the day is counted, it is almost time to come.

The setting sun will fall, and the sky full of red clouds will be reflected on the lake, like it is burning. Ji Junbi and I boarded a boat, ready to go back.

At this time, I felt a feeling in my heart. Looking westward, on the flaming lake, a monk in white was standing on the stern, and the boat galloped towards us without wind.

A foot in front of us, the boat stopped suddenly.

The white-clothed monk folded his hands together, declared the Buddha's name, Tao, and the poor monk's method was anemia. He was a monk who had placed an order at the Baima Temple in Luoyang and had seen the donor of Qin.

White Horse Temple again!
