The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 568 Wedding
For Meng Sicheng, nothing could be more humiliating than what he saw before his eyes.

This shameful scene was deeply engraved in his soul and shook his state of mind.

The Meng family's martial arts method places the most emphasis on the state of mind!
"This... could this be the calamity I must endure to achieve the first level of success?"

Meng Sicheng knew very well that if he could not overcome the "calamity" in his heart, let alone attaining the status of a true immortal, he would not even be able to use the first-grade magical power, the "Taixu Heart Sword".

Since he started practicing, everything has been going smoothly for him. Occasional setbacks are just a breeze on his face and cannot disturb his mood.

But this time, he really suffered a big setback.

"Hey! Why think so much... I'm not sure if I can go back alive today." Looking at the "Aunt Thirteen" who suppressed Zhen Fan with a wave of her hand, Meng Sicheng secretly glanced at the young master of the Mu family, and a strong worry arose in his heart.

Because of the skill displayed by Joyful Bodhisattva, he overestimated her and even began to worry whether the young master of the Mu family could defeat her.

After all, according to rumors, this person’s practice went wrong and there might be a flaw in his mind... and the lineage of Joyful Bodhisattva is good at playing with people’s minds.

If this Mu family Dongxuan loses control of his Taoism, it will be a big trouble.

Not to mention Meng Sicheng's worries, the woman in the black veil cut off all of Zhen Fan's extreme emotions with a sword, and then signaled Mu Zitong to lead him to the seat immediately.

There is extremely terrible pollution in Zhen Fan's soul, and the "Taixu Heart Sword" can only make him "quiet" for a short while. He has to take the opportunity to complete the "ritual".

After Zhen Fan sat down in a daze, the woman possessed by the spirit of Joyful Bodhisattva turned to Meng Sicheng who was standing stiffly beside her and said with a smile: "Please take your seat, Master Meng. My wedding is about to begin."

Her voice was like an oriole singing in a valley, yet it had a soul-stirring quality that made one feel numb all over, as if an electric shock had passed through their body.

But Meng Sicheng remained unmoved...or rather, the more the woman in front of him acted like this, the more he hated her, because this was ruining the reputation of their Meng family!
"Pity the Bodhisattva, you forcibly occupied my Thirteenth Aunt's body and ruined her reputation. What exactly do you want to do?" Meng Sicheng took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice.

"Mr. Meng, you are wrongly accusing me. It was not me who forcibly occupied Miss Mo's body. Instead, she voluntarily gave up her body to me... She didn't want to live a long time ago." The woman's beautiful and gentle voice contained a hint of sadness, which made people feel particularly pitiful.

Meng Sicheng's thirteenth aunt was born in the Mo family of Xuzhou, and her maiden name was Mo Shu.

Although the Mo family can barely be considered a family of cultivators, the strongest member of the family has only achieved supernatural power. Only with his impressive supernatural power of "interpreting texts" can he gain a foothold in Xuzhou, one of the nine provinces in the Central Plains.

It can be said that Mo Shu's marriage to a son of a noble family, especially a genius of that generation, was completely out of her league.

Therefore, Meng Sicheng couldn't think of any reason why Aunt Thirteen "didn't want to live", so he snorted coldly and said, "Impossible! With your status as a Bodhisattva, you actually come to deceive us young people."

Possessed by the spirit of Joyful Bodhisattva, “Mo Shu” said with a hint of sadness on his face: “That’s because you don’t understand the feeling of being ignored by the person closest to you.

"She was desperate and on the verge of collapse, so she had no choice but to entrust her life to me."

At this point, she glanced at Meng Sicheng and continued, "What's more, your Meng family has sealed me so tightly. If she didn't consent, how could I easily occupy her body?"

Seeing that she was so confident and didn't seem to be lying, Meng Sicheng was a little shaken: "How is it possible? Even if Aunt Thirteen encountered any difficulties, why didn't she tell us family members, but went to you?"

Upon hearing his question, "Mo Shu" actually shed a tear and then said meaningfully: "Because her despair came from the Meng family."

Watching the beautiful woman's tears running down her face as white as jade and smooth as porcelain, leaving faint marks, everyone present, both men and women, felt a kind of extreme helplessness and despair in their hearts, and suddenly a deep pity arose in them, which they could not suppress at all.

At this moment, even though he knew that Joyful Bodhisattva was good at playing tricks on people, he also knew that what she said just now was not completely false. At least that kind of despair and helplessness could not deceive people in the environment of the mind. At most, it was magnified.

"It seems that although the Meng family claims to have inherited the legacy of Confucian saints, there are also some dirty things going on inside." Ming Xueling commented in a low voice.

This situation is obviously inconsistent with the records in her "database".

"No one is perfect, let alone a family. The Meng family is just the inheritance of a saint, not the saint himself." Zhao Chen was not surprised. After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

He was not interested in the gossip inside the Meng family. Now he wanted to know what this "Happy Bodhisattva" wanted to do by allowing Meng Sicheng to delay time...

Yes, Meng Sicheng's questioning and suspicion were just a means of delaying time, which was understandable. After all, the authorities would not allow a big city to remain abnormal for a long time. He was also saving himself...

But why should Joyful Bodhisattva cooperate?
Waiting for an auspicious time?

To fulfill some wish for that Miss Moshu?
Or is it a ritual requirement?

Meng Sicheng was actually surprised that Joyful Bodhisattva actually responded to him, but he was even more surprised, or even more uneasy, at the implicit meaning revealed in the other party's words.

If it is really as I think, then our Meng family may face a bigger "scandal"!

Meng Sicheng felt his scalp tingling. He didn't have the courage to continue questioning for fear of bringing disgrace to his family. He could only let the "servant" take him back to his seat under the smiling gaze of the Happy Bodhisattva.

As all the guests took their seats, the accompanying music suddenly changed from a soothing style to a festive one.

The "servants" carrying plates also came in one after another, removed the appetizers and replaced them with the main course.

However, no one present touched the food on the table, not even the young master of the Mu family.

Seeing this, the Joyful Bodhisattva, whose mind was possessed by "Mo Shu", smiled and said, "My dear guests, you may not know yet, if I hadn't integrated Xuancheng of the Heart Realm into this place, what would you have encountered in this third level of restriction?"

In response to this question, guests at eight tables all looked at her, but no one said anything, waiting to see what she was going to do.

"Well, maybe some guests just happened to be here and don't know the origin of this Heart Realm Relic. Let me give you a brief introduction..."

Joyful Bodhisattva did not seem to be in a hurry at all, and told the secret information slowly and carefully, "This relic was left by General Chai Xun who surrendered to the Zhao Song Dynasty thousands of years ago. It is very likely that there are his lifelong collections inside.

“And this third level of restriction was originally the dream of ‘Xian De Zhenren’ Chai Xun.

"No, when he built this relic, he was already the 'True Lord Xian De'!"

Chai Xun’s dream… turned out not to be the dream of “Wutong Shen” as I had guessed…

What’s more, I didn’t expect that Chai Xun actually attained the status of True Lord in the end.

Behind one's own dreams and the dreams of others is indeed the dream of God! However, it is not the "Five-Power God", but a being at the "Shengxuan" level.

As Zhao Chen's thoughts turned, he heard the Happy Bodhisattva continue to say: "When Chai Xun was promoted to Shengxuan, he must have borrowed the power of a certain evil demon from the 'All Stars Society', and his spirit was seriously polluted.

“And even then, it was only barely successful.

"However, I don't need to tell you how dangerous the dreams of a Shengxuan Zhenjun who has serious mental pollution and may be 'transformed into Taoism' at any time can be. I think you should all know it.

“That is definitely not something that cultivators below the Ascension Profound Realm can touch, and even I almost lost my life.

"The fact that everyone can attend the wedding here in peace and security is all thanks to my prompt decision to lead the ruins to Xuancheng in the Heart Realm, using it to temporarily seal Chai Xun's dream.

"As for the special features of Xuancheng, I think someone here knows it better than me."

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Hanshui and Yan San, a charming smile on her face.

The other guests also followed her gaze and looked at the two of them, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

Surprised that Xuancheng had something special that could suppress Shengxuan's dream, and curious about what that special thing was.

Of course, there is still verification... We can't just believe the one-sided statement of Joyful Bodhisattva, right?
Even Zhao Chen was the same. He had long wanted to find out why Joyful Bodhisattva chose Xuancheng to integrate the remains of the Heart Realm.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Su Hanshui hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I only know that Xuancheng was the capital of the Chaizhou Dynasty that was destroyed by the Zhao Song Dynasty more than 8,000 years ago.

"And one of Chai Zhou's most precious treasures may be hidden here."

This was also one of the reasons why he was sent to be the manager of Yuelai Inn, but unfortunately he has never been found.

On the other side, Yan San, who was sitting in the last row, also nodded and said, "That treasure has the same name as the Chai family's foundational magical power, also called 'The Stars Turn'."

He paused for a moment and continued, "According to intelligence, Xuancheng is actually a city where reality and the mind world often flip, and the boundaries are extremely blurred.

"But the residents of Xuancheng are unaware of this. Only some cultivation families are taking advantage of this special opportunity to gain benefits. This is undoubtedly the result of the 'Shifting Stars'."

When talking about "taking advantage of special circumstances to gain benefits", Yan San also glanced at Mu Zitong in the "house servant" team.

Obviously, the Mu family had once had a visit from Dongxuan and left his aura, and had once raised a dragon. All of this happened when the mansion turned into a dream.

They are all just dreams that have come true.

But truth is truth, which is why Mu Zitong's "Praise of the Humble Dwelling" has such a remarkable effect.

So that's it... I understand! Zhao Chen suddenly realized that all his previous doubts were solved. He finally figured out what Joyful Bodhisattva wanted to do and why he had to waste time explaining it.

She needs the help of her "guests"!
"Yes, it is precisely because Xuancheng is the former capital of Chai Zhou and the treasure 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yi' is also here. The boundary between reality and the mind world is always changing, and it has long been blurred. It is relatively easy for people who have lived here for a long time to obtain emotional power...

“That’s why I moved the ruins to Xuancheng. This way, I can use the special features of this place to seal Chai Xun’s dream, and quickly collect the emotional power of the people in the city to replenish my magic power. If necessary, I can also use the flip to temporarily bring the ruins into reality and weaken the danger in the ruins. I can kill three birds with one stone.

"But the new problem is that after Chai Xun's dream was sealed, the third level of restriction could no longer be passed...so we had to find another way."

Just as Joyful Bodhisattva said this, he heard the Master of the Mu Family ask in a rather amusing tone: "So, you planned this wedding?
"It seems that you have spied on some secret in Chai Xun's dream."

Zhao Chen could guess this. As the master of the Mu family was a "Dongxuan" master, he would naturally not fail to notice it.

Joyful Bodhisattva nodded slightly: "I detected his deepest and most ardent dream in his dream... or desire!"

Perceiving and arousing desires is the specialty of Joyful Bodhisattva. Even though Chai Xun is a True Lord Shengxuan, he cannot avoid being spied on now that he has passed away.

Without waiting for the guests to ask questions, Joyful Bodhisattva said, "Chai Xun has always coveted the queen of Zhao Song, Master Moyun.

"The reason why he defected to the Song Dynasty was that he was impressed by Emperor Taizu of Song on the battlefield. The more important reason was that he wanted to get close to Master Moyun.

"This thought reached its peak after the Zhao Song Dynasty was destroyed by our great ancestor and Emperor Taizu of Song died. He followed Master Moyun under an assumed name and established the Four Great Demon Sects.

“But Master Moyun was a single-minded person and never gave him hope. He also didn’t have the strength to force her, which forced him to bury his desire even deeper and he deeply regretted it.

“So, I plan to satisfy his desire and make him have a sweet dream in exchange for the opportunity to enter the next level of restriction.

"But now that Master Moyun and Chai Xun have both passed away, fulfilling this dream requires some special skills..."

"Are you trying to make the fake come true?" Meng Sicheng interrupted. Now he understood why Joyful Bodhisattva chose Aunt Thirteen's body and why she wanted to marry Mu Zirong as a concubine.

After hearing his words, "Qingbai Xianlu" and others also showed a look of enlightenment on their faces.

“The girl I possessed came from a family of scholars, but in fact her ancestors were from the inner sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect… It was precisely because of this identity that she was captured by the bad guys and fell into a desperate situation.

“She is a little weak against Master Moyun, but since I am the one taking over, it is enough.

“The Mu family and the Meng family correspond to the Chai family and the Zhao family. They are both great generals among the subordinates who desire the wives of their masters. This is quite appropriate.

"However, although the Mu family benefited from the change of the stars, the causal relationship with the Chai family is still a little weak...

“And the Meng family and the Zhao family have even less connections!

"So, I need the 'witness' of a special guest to strengthen this connection. This will allow me to use a magical method to create a realistic dream for Chai Xun's remaining spirit and allow him to open the restriction."

After recounting her plan, Joyful Bodhisattva smiled charmingly again. She pointed at Zhao Chen first, then at Meng Sicheng, and said solemnly: "You, as the 'real' party, are the descendants of Emperor Zhao Song and Master Moyun; you, as the 'fake' party, are the Meng family and my relatives in this body...

"Your 'witness' can strengthen the legitimacy of the roles played by me and the Meng family."
