The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

When he discovered that Bai Suzhen appeared next to Xu Xian in a human body, Song Xing withdrew his gaze from the civet cat.

He thought he was coming to the world of The Legend of White Snake, but he didn't expect that things changed so quickly, making him feel that this world seemed to hide some unknown secrets.

Soon the civet cat came back from Bai Suzhen's residence and jumped into Song Xing's arms.

Song Xing touched its soft fur and recalled everything he had seen in the White Mansion.

Although Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing looked undoubtedly human, Song Xing was certain that there was definitely something weird about them.

It's just that this kind of weirdness is hidden so deeply that he can't find any flaws at all through the sight of the civet cat.

"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to confirm in person." Song Xing murmured to himself.

Seven days later, Li Gongfu smiled and sent the wedding invitation, saying that the wedding of Xu Xian and the Bai family's wife was scheduled for three days.

Because Mrs. Bai received a letter from her hometown, she decided to go to Sichuan with Xu Xian to visit relatives after getting married. Therefore, Li Gongfu and his wife decided to hold a wedding for them as soon as possible.

"You are a talented man and a beautiful woman. In three days, I will be there to congratulate Mr. Xu." Song Xing took the invitation with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Gongfu put down his heart, complimented him, and left happily.

In this era, marriages between men and women were arranged by a matchmaker at the order of their parents. If they thought they were a good match, they exchanged "geng stickers" (age and birth date) and pressed them on the bottom of a clean tea cup in front of the statue of the God of Kitchen God to test God's will.

If there are no "abnormal" situations such as broken bowls, rancid food, family quarrels, or uneasy cats and dogs in the home within three days, ask a fortune teller to "lay out the horoscopes" to see if the year and age are compatible and whether the zodiac signs are incompatible.

Afterwards, there are six rites: one is to accept the bride, the other is to ask for the name, the third is to accept the auspiciousness, the fourth is to receive the invitation, the fifth is to ask for a date, and the sixth is to welcome the bride. After all these processes, it is considered a complete wedding.

However, due to the special circumstances of the Bai family, all these tedious procedures were simplified.

On the day of welcoming the bride, the Xu family offered a complete set of pigs, sheep or five animals as well as fruits in the hall to offer sacrifices to "the king of heaven and earth, the bride and the master", and then Xu Xian went to the Bai Mansion to pick up the bride, playing music and playing all the way.

As the sedan enters, the groom plays music and sets off firecrackers to welcome the sedan. After the sedan stops, the sedan door is removed, and a five or six-year-old girl dressed in makeup comes out of the sedan to welcome the bride out of the sedan. She gently pulls the bride's sleeves three times with her hands before getting out of the sedan.

When the bride leaves the sedan door, she first steps over a vermilion-lacquered wooden "saddle" and then steps on a red felt. She is supported by her bride and stands on the right side of the wedding hall.

At that time, Xu Xian, who was dressed as a groom, entered the sedan chair and pretended to hide elsewhere. Xiao Xian, who was holding flowers and candles, invited him back and stood on the left side.

The layout of the wedding hall is the same as that in other places, but the worship ceremony is slightly different. There is an incestuous father-in-law, who is usually the groom's grandfather or uncle.

The incense burner, the groom, and the bride all follow the movements of the salute. The saluteer shouts: Let’s go to the temple to see the ceremony, and play music!
The main congratulator kneels in front of the incense table, and everyone kneels, offers incense, offers incense twice, offers incense three times, kowtows, kowtows again, and kowtows three times. The person giving the blessing then sings: rise, level, reset, kneel, all kneel.

The praising person sang again: rise, worship, rise, worship, rise, worship. The whole process is collectively called "three kneels, nine kowtows, and six rises and worships".Finally, the praising person sings: After the ceremony, leave the class and send them to the bridal chamber.

Song Xing sat in a corner of the auditorium, looking at the joyful worship scene, and felt this rare moment of peace in his heart.

But when his eyes turned to the bride, he frowned invisibly.

Now that he was close, he could clearly sense that Bai Suzhen, standing opposite Xu Xian, was indeed a mortal with no magic or demonic power in her body.

No matter how you look at it, she is an ordinary human woman.

However, his intuition, honed through countless battles in the world, told him that the woman in front of him was definitely not the weak woman she appeared to be.

Because sitting in this auditorium, he even felt a faint sense of oppression.

You know, no one has been able to give him this feeling for a long time.

Even when he fought with Fahai in West Lake, the pressure Fahai put on him was slightly less than this sense of oppression.And he used his spiritual thoughts to travel through the body. Although he recovered some of his magic power, he still did not regain the combat power he had in the Zhuxian world.

So after looking at Bai Suzhen for a few times, he suppressed his thoughts and made no extra moves. He just treated himself as an ordinary guest and sat there quietly drinking and eating.

After the wedding banquet was over, Song Xing returned to the small courtyard and sat quietly beside the stone chair in the courtyard, as if waiting for someone.

About half an hour later, a bright light suddenly flashed across the sky, stopped over Qiantang County, and then fell towards the courtyard where Song Xing was.

When the golden light flashed, the person who appeared in front of Song Xing, with a shiny bald head, was the abbot of Jinguang Temple, Monk Fahai.

"The Zen master came from afar, but the Song Dynasty failed to welcome him from afar."

Song Xing looked at Fahai and said with a smile.

Fahai looked at him and frowned slightly, "Does the Taoist priest know that I'm coming?"

Song Xing smiled and said: "I felt something in my heart, and I did some calculations. I knew that a noble person would be visiting tonight, but I didn't expect that it would be the Zen Master. We have been apart for more than a month, and I wonder why the Zen Master came to see me?"

Fa Hai stared at Song Xing eagerly and asked, "Where is the snake demon that the Taoist master surrendered in the West Lake that day?"

The smile on Song Xing's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Fahai for a while, then slowly pointed to the wellhead in the yard and said, "Since that day, I suppressed the snake demon under this well in my yard. Why?" Already?"

Fahai didn't answer, and walked to the edge of the well in a few steps. He opened his eyes and looked towards the bottom of the well.

I saw that in the eyes of ordinary people, the water well was ordinary, but there was another mystery below. Lines of mana spreading layer by layer filled the space at the bottom of the well, forming a huge magic circle, suppressing the white snake at the bottom of the well.

With a solemn expression, Fahai stretched out his hand and slowly touched the void in front of him, only to see a layer of golden light flash through, which bounced his arm back directly.

Seeing that Song Xing really suppressed the white snake, Fahai's expression improved slightly.

Song Xing realized that Fahai had an ulterior motive for coming to him, so he directly asked: "Is the Zen master's coming here related to this white snake demon?"

Fahai's expression changed from solemn to relaxed. He looked at Song Xing and said, "A few days ago, the poor monk left Jinshan Temple and came to the vicinity of Qiantang. He didn't want to find signs of monsters biting people here, so he traced it here."

Song Xing suddenly realized: "I see, so the Zen master suspects that the white snake demon escaped from my hands, or that I deliberately allowed the white snake to bite people?"

Fahai's expression remained normal and he said, "I suspected that the Taoist Master had let the White Snake escape, but now it seems that maybe I was overly worried."

Since the white snake was suppressed at the bottom of the well, it must be other monsters that eat people.

But he didn't notice any evil spirit along the way. Could it be that he was looking in the wrong place?

While Fahai was deep in thought, Song Xing suddenly said, "If a monster bites people, I may have a guess."

Fahai looked over: "Does the Taoist priest know the whereabouts of the monster?"

Song Xing waved his hand and said: "I'm just guessing, it may not be accurate, but since the Zen Master is here for this matter, there is no harm in telling the Zen Master."

Fahai clasped his hands together: "I would like to hear the details."

Song Xing said: "Zen Master, you know, I have nothing to do this afternoon. I attended a wedding of the brother-in-law of the head catcher in this county. At that wedding, I thought that the bride might be a little abnormal."

Fahai raised his eyebrows: "Then the bride is a monster?"

Song Xing shook his head: "There is no evil spirit, but my spiritual sense tells me that she is not completely human. However, I am not practicing enough to see through her true body. The Zen Master is superb in Buddhism. Maybe I can go and have a look. Maybe What can be discovered.”
