Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 18 Li Gui Gets Married
Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the courtyard, Ji Chang begins to walk into the bath and soak his whole body in the medicinal bath.

In order to be able to perform medicinal baths better, Ji Chang specially renovated a side room in the backyard of the house and dug a small pool in the room, which was specifically used for medicinal baths.

After the medicinal bath was over, Ji Chang began morning exercises in the courtyard, taking advantage of the medicinal power that had not yet been fully refined in his body.

Generally speaking, he would first perform the "Flying Crane Soaring to the Clouds" in the courtyard, leaping and moving lightly, as if a nimble crane was spreading its wings and flying in the morning light.

Ji Chang devoted a lot of effort to "Flying Crane Soaring into the Clouds".

In his opinion, the skill of escaping is the most important and indispensable skill.

Especially in a world full of dangers, it is particularly important to be able to escape quickly.

If Wan Tianhe's martial arts skills had been better, he might have had a chance to survive the siege by the Li brothers and Mr. Liang Sanye.

Therefore, Ji Chang practiced day after day, striving to perfect this light skill.

Afterwards, he practiced the "Spirit Snake Acupoint-Pointing Technique", a martial art that combines both attack and defense. His palms were as flexible as spirit snakes, sometimes tapping and sometimes slapping, with quick and accurate movements.

Although Ji Chang's energy in "Spirit Snake Acupuncture" is far less than that in "Flying Crane Soaring to the Clouds", he has a solid foundation in "Eagle Claw".

Ji Chang's progress in "Spirit Snake Acupuncture Point Pressing" is quite good.

After practicing martial arts, Ji Chang would begin his work of identifying medicines.

He learned the methods of refining various elixirs recorded in the "Baihua Yaolu".

The medicinal materials consumed outside of practice are not just purchased at the pharmacy when replenishing the medicinal materials every month.

Among the medicinal herbs left by Wantianhe, there are also many medicinal herbs needed for refining elixirs recorded in the "Baihua Yaolu".

In addition, by studying "Hundred Flowers Medicinal Records", Ji Chang was also able to identify what kind of elixirs were contained in the bottles and jars left by Wan Tianhe.

Among them was a pill that contained a disguise drug, which was very useful to Ji Chang now. With the disguise drug as a cover, he didn't have to worry about being recognized when purchasing medicinal materials.

In this way, Ji Chang understood what medicine Wan Tianhe had given Li Gui before.

According to the records in "Baihua Yaolu", it is a kind of medicinal powder that can make people lose the ability to reproduce.

If Ji Chang remembered correctly, then Li Gui would probably never be able to go to the red-light district to have fun again.

The Black Mountain Gang's Li family lineage will be extinct starting with Li Gui.

药浴。

Practice martial arts.

Know medicine.

Ji Chang lived a fairly abundant life.

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ji Chang had just left the pharmacy, carrying large and small bags of medicinal materials, and was about to return home.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums was heard not far away.

Not far away, the streets were lined with people watching the excitement. Ji Chang couldn't help but move forward curiously to find out what was going on.

Ji Chang saw many familiar faces in the crowd, including apprentices from the Black Mountain Martial Arts School, members of the Black Mountain Gang, and people from the Liang family...

"Could this be Li Gui's wedding procession?"

Ji Chang guessed in his heart.

Soon, Ji Chang saw Li Gui in the crowd.

Li Gui was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a sword at his waist, looking very heroic.

He smiled and greeted the guests on both sides from time to time, his face full of confidence.

Li Gui's wedding procession was huge and grand, demonstrating the power and majesty of the Black Mountain Gang.

Walking in front was a row of people dressed in brocade clothes, holding long whips and shouting from time to time to drive away pedestrians on the road. This was not only to show the groom's majesty, but also to ensure that the wedding route was unobstructed.

They were followed by a team of lion and dragon dance performers, dressed in colorful clothes, dancing happily to the rhythm of gongs and drums.

Next came a group of middle-aged men, carrying a bright red sedan chair covered with red silk embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Around the sedan chair, the bride's dowry is dazzling, including gold and silver jewelry, silk bedding, etc.

It shows the wealth and status of the bride's family to the fullest.

On both sides of the sedan chair, there was a pair of boys and girls dressed in wedding clothes holding red candles, their faces filled with innocent smiles.

There was also a band in the team, playing cheerful and joyful music with melodious tunes that made people feel relaxed and happy.

The music accompanied the wedding procession, adding to the festive atmosphere.

On both sides of the street, colorful flags are fluttering and red lanterns are hanging high, creating a festive scene.

The entire wedding procession moved slowly and orderly through the street, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.

People stopped to watch and sent their blessings to Li Gui and his bride.

The wedding process was like a grand ceremony, demonstrating the strength and majesty of the Black Mountain Gang.

Ji Chang stopped for a moment and shook his head.

"What a pity, now Li Gui is just a eunuch."

Before leaving, Ji Chang casually planted a mark on Li Gui who was in the wedding procession.

Since Wantian He's death, Ji Chang has not continued to plant the mark.

This was mainly because he had not yet fully digested the legacy left by Man Tian He.

However, now that he had met Li Gui again, Ji Chang casually planted a mark on him.

Although Ji Chang had already obtained the Black Mountain Gang Li family's Five Element Bone Strengthening Soup, a fourth-level secret medicine.

It would be difficult to extract any value from spying on Li Gui again.

However, Ji Chang now lives in Heishan County.

If he continued to spy on Li Gui, perhaps he would be able to grasp the recent changes in Heishan County more quickly.

For Ji Chang, this is a good channel to obtain information.

After returning home, Ji Chang practiced martial arts for a while and then focused his energy on the pictures in his mind.

What appeared on the screen was the scene of the Black Mountain Martial Arts School. A grand wedding was being held in the square of the Black Mountain Martial Arts School.

This was not only the wedding of Li Gui, the young leader of the Black Mountain Gang, but also a grand event where all major forces in Black Mountain County gathered together.

Guests from all parties in Heishan County came to attend the wedding, including people from the three major families in Heishan County.

Although the heads of other families did not come except the Liang family, they also sent their legitimate sons.

If it was just the wedding of Li Gui, the young leader of the Black Mountain Gang, even if people from the three major families would come to attend, they would only send someone randomly.

The main reason why it is given so much attention is because the bride comes from the Liang family, one of the three major wealthy families.

Of course, the bride was just a concubine’s daughter, otherwise the heads of the other two families would have come as well.

A high platform was built in the center of the martial arts hall square, on which were placed incense tables and wedding candles, and the surrounding area was hung with red curtains and colorful flags, showing a festive and warm atmosphere.

Li Gui was wearing a bright red wedding dress, standing on a high platform, looking straight ahead.

The bride, wearing a gorgeous red wedding gown and a red veil on her face, came in front of Li Gui, surrounded by a group of bridesmaids in red.

Amid the joyful sounds, Li Gui and his bride began their wedding ceremony.
