Chapter 141 Wedding, Cheers
In the back mountain of the Seven Sects Temple in Buddhist City, a swordsman in black walked out from the deserted Sutra Repository.
The swordsman has a handsome face and is dressed elegantly, in a black robe inlaid with gold thread. However, his attire gives him a sense of the martial arts world, with a long sword, a wine gourd, and everything else he needs.
The swordsman left the Sutra Library.
The mountain path, which had not been walked on for a long time, was overgrown with weeds. Some of the weeds were as tall as a person and were quite sharp on both sides, cutting people's cheeks and causing pain.
After walking about half an incense stick's length along the mountain path, he finally saw a figure. It was a patrolling Buddhist soldier. The Buddhist soldier also noticed him and immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation, his expression full of vigilance.
One can tell from his words and actions that he is a rookie. If he were an old soldier, most of them would just pretend not to see it. After all, this Sutra Repository is said to be an important place in Buddhism, storing countless scriptures, but in more than a year, almost no one has been here. The mountain path further up is already overgrown with weeds. Guarding this place is just a superficial effort.
Li Changxiao naturally explained that he had drunk too much last night and ended up here for no apparent reason. He himself was also very confused.
Upon hearing this, the Buddhist soldier looked Li Changxiao up and down again, and after a little consideration in his mind, he let him go. He knew that the Sutra Library in the back mountain was haunted.
The swordsman left the temple through a small path and walked on the street. Looking at the street scenes on both sides, he lamented how great the changes in the outside world were. He had only been in seclusion for a year, but the Buddhist city had actually erected high-rise buildings and the business on the streets had become more diverse.
Yu Luosha often comes out to steal wine, and the stolen wine is getting better and better. It seems there is a reason for this.
Li Changxiao was carrying a sack of linen, and the five hundred taels of silver had not been used up until today. Of course, if one wanted to delve deeper into the reason, he would have to thank this dedicated and cold-faced Rakshasa. If it weren't for her, the money might have been stolen long ago.
He bought a meat pie and gave a few extra copper coins when paying. He then started a conversation with the meat pie stall owner and asked about the affairs of the Buddhist City. The meat pie stall owner laughed and told Li Changxiao that a year ago, an army captured the Buddhist City and went straight into the orthodox temple.
All the Buddhists in the so-called orthodox temples were killed overnight, and then a new temple was built, which was also the only temple in the Buddhist City. In the early days of the temple, true Buddhists from all over the world were recruited. After passing the three Buddhist debates, they could obtain monk status and settle down in the temple, away from the mundane world, accompanied by the ancient Buddha.
In the future, Buddhists can only go to that temple to burn incense. If those who practice Buddhism want to enter the temple, it depends on fate.
After that.
The atmosphere in Fo City became more and more open, and it began to attract business, farming, and civil engineering. After a year, it became what it is today.
After a brief chat, Li Changxiao strolled around Buddha City while munching on a meat pie, wondering which person in power had set his eyes on this piece of fat meat, Buddha City.
This question was answered when he turned a corner.
His expression became strange.
He saw a shop with elegant decoration. On a plaque hanging high at the door, there were four big characters written: Lianmin Pawnshop.
He thought, he knew who was behind everything in Buddha City.
Whether it is good or bad, no comment.
After Li Changxiao came out of seclusion, he followed the mountain path he remembered and found the old site of Kongwo Temple. It was deserted and covered with dust.
After turning around and leaving, Li Changxiao went to the only temple in Buddhist City to burn incense, and bought some offerings and a few incense sticks on the way.
After burning incense and worshipping Buddha, Li Changxiao left the temple and found a wine alley. He filled two wine gourds with wine, which were heavy. He patted them, and the sound of the wine tumbling inside made him feel very comfortable.
And then...
On a bleak autumn night.
The swordsman left the Buddhist city.
......
The autumn wind blows into Changwu City.
The weather is slightly cooler.
The harvest this year is pretty good.
The faces of the common people were filled with smiles. The Su family, the richest family in Changwu City, had been powerful and influential for many years because of their small population. However, they acted cautiously and treated others kindly, for fear of damaging their good deeds and thus cutting off the Su family lineage.
Years of charity have earned the Su family a good reputation in Changwu City.
Recently, the Su family had a big happy event and planned to hold a grand banquet and send out invitations widely. Most of the officials and merchants in Changwu City came to show their support, and the city was already shrouded in a festive atmosphere before it even started.
The old man of the Su family was in high spirits and had a rosy face because of the happy event. He waved his hand and planned to set up dozens more banquet tables on the three streets outside the Su family's old house.
Any wanderer, farmer or businessman passing by could have a meal at the banquet as long as he said a few auspicious words.
And the big happy event, naturally, is that the young master of the Su family is about to get married.
The old man of the Su family felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He had finally waited for this day. Ever since that kid came back from Buddha City, he seemed to have come to his senses. He began to gradually take over the family business. Later, he fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Liu family. After a few interactions, they became a perfect match.
There was no need to make a scene of elopement, and everything just happened naturally. It couldn't have been better.
The old man of the Su family has put a lot of thought into this. He has long been able to enjoy his retirement, but no one has taken over, so he has been supporting it alone.
The wedding day.
The Su family set off firecrackers.
The young master of the Su family has a tall and straight figure, wearing a festive red robe, with a strong smile on his face, full of vigor and vitality, riding a tall horse, with a big red flower pinned on his chest.
The wedding procession behind them was beating drums and gongs, dancing lions and dragons, people on both sides were watching, and a three-year-old child was running around happily with firecrackers.
The bride is welcomed into the house, seated, served tea, worshipped in the hall, and bowed to heaven and earth... After going through the whole process, the old man actually burst into tears.
The banquet began in a lively manner.
After sending the bride to the bridal chamber, the beautiful and charming lady felt uneasy and shy to speak. Su Yun comforted her and asked her to wait while he went to toast first.
At the banquet.
Su Yun raised his glass, toasting his parents first, then his elders and friends...
After toasting all the way, his face was already flushed, and he was drunk and began to stagger. All the procedures were completed and he could enter the bridal chamber, but Su Yun was in high spirits and wanted to toast at the banquet three streets outside Su's house.
So he took the wine glass, walked out of the Su Mansion, raised the glass high, and toasted all the people who came to support him.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, his eyes were attracted by a figure in white at the banquet.
under the moonlight.
The breeze is gentle.
That figure, with a gentle smile on his face, also looked over here, raised his wine glass and bowed it gently.
Su Yun paused, a smile appeared on his face, he raised his glass towards the swordsman in white, and murmured, "Cheers."
