Too much fruit

Chapter 809 Goodbye Great Venerable, Xihe Dao Fruit

Jiang Li spent the night practicing.

In the next three days, Jiang Li only needs to continue practicing and wait for the wedding.

He thought it was like this...

At dawn the next day, the palace gate opened and a palace maid came to announce that Jiang Bowen, the elder of the Jiang clan, wanted to see him.

Jiang Li agreed.

Then he saw the elder coming with a bird.

"This is..." Jiang Li looked at the big gray-brown bird, "A wild goose?"

Even with his amazing wisdom, he still felt confused at this moment and couldn't understand why the elder of the tribe brought a wild goose with him.

"It is the wild goose."

The elder of the clan offered the wild goose with both hands and said, "The wild goose follows the movement of yin and yang. It flies south when the trees fall and flies north when the ice melts. The husband is yang and the wife is yin. Using the wild goose means that the wife follows the husband. That's why it is used in weddings."

The elder spoke in a very elegant manner, but fortunately Jiang Li was not so ignorant as to not understand what he said.

In short, this goose is used during the wedding process.

"Master, it's time to propose marriage." The clan elder said solemnly.

Although Jiang Li didn't know what Nacai was, he could already foresee that this wedding would be quite complicated and troublesome.

This is indeed the case.

When the clan elder saw that their patriarch looked confused and had lost all his former wisdom, he roughly explained the wedding process to him.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, weddings had pre-wedding ceremonies, wedding ceremonies, and post-wedding ceremonies. The pre-wedding ceremony was further divided into five ceremonies, and "Nacai" was the first ceremony, which required the man to take a wild goose as a gift and go to the woman's house to propose.

"Master, Master Gongsun has already informed me in advance and asked me to take you to Nanli Palace to propose marriage." said the elder.

Having said that, the elder handed the wild goose directly to Jiang Li and urged Jiang Li to go and ask for marriage.

Generally speaking, the five pre-wedding ceremonies take quite a while, so there is no need to rush. But Jiang Li's wedding was in three days, so of course everything had to be rushed.

This was the first time in Jiang Li’s life that he had a wedding, let alone an ancient wedding. He knew only a little about it and could only follow the advice of the clan elders and go to Nanli Palace.

After arriving at Nanli Palace, he went directly to Chaohua Pavilion and met Yu Shi Yuanjun again.

"Naza..."

Yu Shi Yuanjun looked at the wild goose in Jiang Li's hand and immediately knew why Jiang Li came.

She showed a meaningful look, accepted the wild goose, and went upstairs. After a while, she came down again and handed Jiang Li a red folded paper.

"Fellow Daoist, you will be working hard these next two days." Yu Shi Yuanjun said with a smile.

After the proposal of marriage, the next step is to ask for the woman’s name, that is, the woman’s name and date of birth, in order to predict the good or bad fortune of the wedding.

After asking for the name, if it is a good omen, then an envoy will be sent with a wild goose to the girl's house to announce the good news.

Thus, the wedding was decided. After that came the fourth ceremony, "Nazheng", in which the betrothal gift was given to the woman. The fifth ceremony, "Qingqi", was when the man took the wild goose as a gift and went to the woman's house to agree on an auspicious date for the wedding.

As a pre-wedding gift, a total of three wild geese are required. Fortunately, it is spring and summer now, and wild geese can be seen everywhere in the north, otherwise we would have to send experts to the south to catch wild geese.

Jiang Li is fully capable of divination by himself and can do it immediately, but due to the formality of pre-wedding ceremony, he has to return to the Jiang clan to do divination.

So Jiang Li and the elders returned to the clan land.

He went to Lieshan Palace, dismissed everyone, and decided to do divination alone. Jiang Li had a hunch that this divination should not be revealed to others.

Because...he opened the letter given by Yu Shi Yuanjun and saw two names as expected.

——Gongsun Yuanxi.

——Gongsun Qingyue.

"No wonder I can't see anyone." Jiang Li whispered.

Nacai was supposed to meet Gongsun Qingyue's elders, but Tianxuan was not there. This is because men and women should not meet before marriage.

Yu Shi Yuanjun obviously also saw this, so he said that Jiang Li would have a hard time.

However, the elder that Jiang Li met was still related to him...

Jiang Li stopped thinking in time, took out Emperor Wen's money after a long absence, weighed it in the book, but did not act immediately. Instead, he suddenly said, "Brother, what do you think the result of my divination will be this time?"

Jiang Li was the only one in the empty Lieshan Hall, and his voice was echoing as if he was talking to himself.

But as the words fell, a figure silently appeared on a stone seat not far away.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

The Great Master was holding a red book and reading it seriously, while he said, "My dear brother, you have a lot of luck with women. I'm afraid it will affect your happiness as a couple."

The Great Master, whom the princess had been searching for for days, suddenly appeared before Jiang Li's eyes.

"I just don't want to be told that by you, big brother."

Jiang Li seemed to have anticipated the appearance of the Great Master. At the same time, his mind moved slightly, and the book that only he could see was also turning. "Hmm?"

The Great Master exclaimed in surprise, and when he looked down, he saw that the name on the marriage book was gradually fading, and the marriage record belonging to Jiang Li was disappearing.

Or rather, it is being taken away.

If it was just a cover-up, the Great Venerable's level of Yi Dao would not have failed to discover it. Since he could no longer see Jiang Li's marriage, it meant that Jiang Li had removed his own cause and effect record from the marriage book and completely disappeared.

"After not seeing him for a while, he has become stronger and stronger, both in terms of strength and in the Dao of Change." The Great Venerable said to himself.

"I heard from the princess that the marriage book is in Feng Manlou's hands, so who is here now, Feng Manlou or the Great Master?" Jiang Li also whispered in his heart, making guesses.

Feng Manlou is the Great Master, but the Great Master is not Feng Manlou.

Jiang Li already knew the difference between the Great Master and his clone, so he naturally would not treat the two the same.

But Da Zun seemed to see through Jiang Li's thoughts and said, "Are you guessing whether I am Feng Manlou or Da Zun? There is no need to guess. Da Zun is Feng Manlou and Feng Manlou is also Da Zun. From the beginning to the end, I have never used a pseudonym."

"And I never harbor any ill will towards my people."

Jiang Li is also a member of the Da Zun's clan. He was personally refined with the essence of Fuxi's blood and obtained the bloodline of the Feng clan. That's why the Da Zun has been helping Jiang Li all along.

Helping Jiang Li to become the emperor means that someone from the Feng clan will become the emperor.

"Don't you have any ill will towards your clansmen... It seems that the person here is not the prince consort I thought he was." Jiang Li said slowly.

To limit the scope of not harboring ill will to clan members is to exclude non-clan members.

"My dear brother, you are too wary of me."

The Great Master shook his head helplessly, then coughed lightly, straightened his voice, and said, "Or are you more familiar with this tone?"

As he spoke, Jiang Li had already heard the eccentric tone of Feng Manlou.

"I came here today just to give you a wedding gift. Don't be too vigilant."

As the Great Venerable spoke, he took out a red jade disk and placed it on the armrest of the stone seat. "This is the Dao Fruit of Sun Control. Its original owner was the Mother of the Sun, but she had already fallen from a lower realm when she was alive, from the Mother of the Sun to the Sun Control, so there is no true spirit left in the Dao Fruit. This Dao Fruit is now of the fourth grade, just right for my sister-in-law to advance, so I will use it as a gift to help you and your wife. No, it should be the couple... It doesn't seem right either. Forget it. Anyway, I wish you and your wife a happy marriage and a long life together."

Qinsese...

The extra "瑟" represents two wives, right?
With this tone, one can only say that Feng Man Lou’s flavor is too pure.

"Thank you very much, big brother," Jiang Li also treated Feng Manlou with the same attitude, thanked with a smile, and said, "I will tell my sister-in-law later that this is a good gift from big brother."

"Ha, that's not necessary," Da Zun laughed and said, "I don't want her to worry."

The laughter echoed, but the figure gradually faded. When the sound disappeared, he disappeared completely.

Seeing this, Jiang Li's expression gradually became calm, and then he gently tossed up Emperor Wen's money.

He used his true Qi to form a platform and let Emperor Wen's money fall on it. He did this six times in total, and the results were exactly the same.

All of Emperor Wen's coins are held upright, with neither the front nor the back showing.

"The future is uncertain? What a good omen." Jiang Li laughed.

For him, this is the best omen. Being able to calculate an omen is not a good thing, as it means that Jiang Li's future can be predicted.

Jiang Li collected the money from Emperor Wen with great satisfaction, then walked to where the Great Master had sat before and picked up the scarlet jade disk.

This is a jade disk the size of two palms, on which is exquisitely carved a goddess riding a chariot pulled by six dragons, pulling the sun.

[Fourth Taoist Fruit: Riyu·Xihe]

"It's indeed this person." Jiang Li said.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness Southern Classic" says: "Beyond the southeastern sea, between the Gan River, there is the country of Xihe. There is a woman named Xihe, who bathes in the Gan Yuan every day. Xihe is the wife of Emperor Jun and gave birth to ten suns."

The so-called ten suns are the ten golden crows.

Xihe gave birth to ten suns and was the Sun Mother. Theoretically, the Dao Fruit she left behind should be at least of the third rank. However, in the ancient times before the end of the Dharma, the myth of Xihe had already evolved, from the Sun Mother to the Sun Driver.

She was originally the mother of the sun, but became a god who drove the sun. The difference between the two is simply huge.

Now it seems that this Sun Mother has fallen in realm, so she has become Sun Imperial.

After all, no matter which era it is, only strength can determine one's status. When the Sun Mother's strength level drops, her status will naturally decline.

The fourth-grade grade is not as good as the three-legged golden crow Taoist fruit that is the son of Xihe. No one knows what happened to this Sun Mother that caused such a change.

However, one thing is certain, that is, Gongsun Qingyue's fourth-grade Dao fruit has been found.

Tianxuan originally decided to promote Gongsun Qingyue to the fourth-rank Sun Star Lord, and she had already prepared the Dao Fruit to pave the way for Gongsun Qingyue. However, in terms of compatibility, the Sun Star Lord was still not as good as Xihe, who was also a woman.

Moreover, Xihe was originally the Sun Mother, and the prospects of this fruit were much better than those of the Sun Star God.

"I still can't refuse his help. The methods of the Great Honored One are indeed difficult to deal with."

Jiang Li really didn't want to accept it, but he had no choice because the Great Master gave him too much.
